Birch33 here, as promised. I've created an alias and done most of the fluff - including a story as to why she's ended up in the region of the Verduran Forest.
I haven't focussed on spending or languages too much - I can revise these if I'm successful. The character is a rogue that aspires to be a Lion Blade of Taldor.
Happy to help the group along however I can (I GM on the boards as well as play) but it's fair to say I focus on the role rather than the roll - whichever hat I'm wearing. Hopefully my submission is evidence of that.
